From all the forum I've read, ladders are NOT supported (what, why?) /~unreal/ubb/html/frown.gif. Suggestions have been given to make a staircase, with the width being 1 grid. Haven't tried it, but it sounds like it might work.

thing is.... i need them for a tunel thats around 600 bitz long (not very condusive to a staircase) howabout making a surface and cranking the friction up (even if it is a vertical sufrace)?

Couldn't you do something along the lines of the lower section of DM-Pyramid or whatever it's called where you have an area that you can move freely up and down in?

If you don't know what I'm talking about, take a look at the wacked Pyramid DM map and move through the hole in the center, you can move up and down to the different levels there and if you really want to you can move to under the pyramid. Be sure you stay inside the red "landing lights" zone or you will fall to your death.

It's cool, jump boots, armor and shield belt are all there... (I think I forgot something)

So, now that I've made a basic suggestion, here's what a propose, create a ladder texture and apply it to a wall or something and right in front of it one character unit in depth setup a zone going the full length of the ladder just like that used in DM-Pyramid. You might need to play with it a bit to figure out how to allow the player to move more rapidly though.

RubrChrist: I have seen the staircase trick, it works, you can go straight up an almost vertical staircase, but it looks a bit strange, worth a try though

i dont doubt that it works, it just wont create a staircase that will fit into the space i need it to fit into.... (ive tried several ways) i think the swimming zone is probably the best option... thank you though...
